KTM 390 Adventure: Oil Change Service

[@tonygreen8221]

Oil the filter inner grommet and filter cover o-ring before reassembling and things will go together more easily and without the risk of the o ring gripping against the filter pot wall and rolling out of position, creating a leak. O-rings on screens should be oiled too. Good job guys. Love the channel.

[@MVDBR]

Yeah it does mention lubing the o-rings in the manual, I figured there should be enough oil on them after Nat dropped them into the pan 😅 Haha cheers Tony

[@brucekendall52]

Great for those new to the game and for owners of the 390.Thks.

[@Need2Xplore]

Nat has no chill being polite, love it! xD

hahah those torque wrench clicks where on point 😝 loved the blooper reel 🙃 😜

Thanks ! when are you guys installing the coober ecu pack ? Thinking about doing it on mine. Would love to get your impressions.

[@MVDBR]

As far as I know they were going to send us one but haven't heard from them in a while so not sure what the go is 🤷‍♂️

Nat and Josh Hello from Adelaide; Thanks for the instruction on oil change, Nat brilliant! Lots of fun in the Bat Cave...tools....Beers, gloves, socket set and oil tray plus new oil and filter...LOL...... David SA Tiger 900GT....

It's just not cricket without beers Dave cheers mate 🤙

[@Steves_ADV]

Good stuff guys. A little aluminium foil around the exhaust pipe can make clean up a bit easier.

[@MVDBR]

Ahhhh 🤔 cheers Steve

[@husseinthegift]

Greetings. Really happy to see your clearly explained oil change video for ktm 390 adv. I just fancied and got one of that cool guy a couple of days ago but really dont have much about its mechanical and technical care in my pocket. I will look forward to see more videos like this from you. For example; introducing its critical parts, chain care, tyre pressure control, even the right gear change etc. will be nice for me and riders like me.

[@BikerBits]

Bloody Ripper Guys! Glad I've got a DR650 for Oil changes 🤣 Love the torque wrench 😉 Cheers... Mark

[@MVDBR]

Mate KTM do a LOT of things really well on their bikes but the convoluted oil change procedure on most of them leaves a lot to be desired! The Japanese bikes win this category hands down 🙌

You two rock. Thanks for your energy and humour as you teach us couch dwellers how to care for our bikes…and our relationships. Cheers Scott

Nice one Nat! Good to see as I just bought a 390 Adventure! Loving it! Been on some fantastic off road adventures already, got one last himalayan vid to process then onto the 390 stuff! 😃

[@gumbysenduro6546]

Good stuff, the voice in my ear has said Nat be careful using solvents around your stone's it may weaken the set glue, i don't know Josh i think she is talking about rings :) cheers.

[@HernandezJr_Henry]

Hey there! 👋 Wondering where you found that awesome radiator guard for the KTM? Thanks in advance.

[@MVDBR]

Pretty sure it was a Power Part from KTM

[@manybikes]

It's the KTM Power Parts guard. I just installed mine last night! AFTER painting it black though... that guard would have been the ONLY thing silver on the bike ;)

[@HernandezJr_Henry]

Thank you!

[@manybikes]

@@HernandezJr_Henry if in the USA I recommend KTM Parts Pro for these parts. They are great.

[@HernandezJr_Henry]

@Kyle Bradshaw Yes, I'm in the USA & just picked up a used KTM w/7k mil for 2,000 used. Trying prepare it for off-road trail riding

[@comfortablyunknown700]

That was fun. Thank you.

[@markku2857]

My bike is different, to get the small drainer out you have to loosen exhausts two nuts and move exhaust to the left when looking from behind the bike. The small drainer is just underneath the exhaust. Torques of the two exhausts nuts are 8 nm. Believe or not! That is why I can not drain all the oil when engine is hot!

[@MVDBR]

Damn that's a bit annoying... maybe we moved the head pipe a bit when we got the custom exhaust made up ✌

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

[@ManojOrbit]

Do you face any drop in oil levels. Does the engine burn oil? by any chance did you measure the drained quantity.

[@MVDBR]

I don't think it ever burned any noticeable amount of oil, but nah never measured how much came out sorry 😬

[@davewalton2358]

Does the beer intake play havoc with the torque wrench settings? Great stuff guys, very informative and fun too! The little Kato will be on the back wheel all the time now with fresh oil in its innards! Cheers...

Great, clear video. Thx!

[@marcjohnson7734]

In another video that I can't find you mentioned the chain was absolutely shite! It's been said by others too,but do you think that it would be half decent if it was used only in the road? I'm picking mine up tomorrow just wondering do I get a good chain right off the bat? Even though I'm only going to be road riding? Cheers

[@MVDBR]

I guess it would last longer off the dirt but it's still rubbish and won't last as long as a quality chain.

[@hemanthkumar9893]

Can we use 15w50 for this machine

[@MVDBR]

Pretty sure 15W50 is what the manual says, so yeah 😁

[@arielvillaseca4172]

[@Flipsidenews]

Nat, Where does your parts guy operate? Looking to replace the bash plate and maybe add simple lower crash bars. Dee

[@MVDBR]

Nat doesn't work here anymore but the bashplate is from bboffroad.com.au and the crash bars are from srcadventuremoto.com.au if that's of any assistance.

[@Flipsidenews]

@@MVDBR Thanks heaps for that

[@MotoStrikerUnit7]

Seems a bit excessive to have two oil drains and drain filters with oil filler I guess there engines brake apart lol

[@MVDBR]

It's a weird KTM thing, the EXCs have the same setup. Real pain in the ass compared to other bikes

[@martyn_g]

To be fair, most companies have some issues with their bikes. Just research “insert bike model here” - issues into Google, and you’ll find something, lol

I’m a noob, the 390 adv is my first bike and this was exactly what I needed. Thanks for including the torque values, you guys are awesome! Question - how does self service affect warranty claims?

[@MVDBR]

Thanks, not sure about warranty, would probably be best to ask your dealer 👍 (if you can trust em to tell you the truth - we're lucky we ride with our parts guy on occasion 😁)

Would have been only 5,000km

[@donut3110]

How is the AXP holding up after all this time? I really wanted one for the T7 but I think awhile back I saw it flex quite a bit when she rolled over a log so taking the weight of the T7 + mounted gear and rider (70kg) then really makes me wonder if it's up to the task. Also I decided to go almost all the way back to the beginning and watch all the videos going forward lol I think I found your channel on the test ride of the T7 maybe 3yrs ago, while I was still hung up on how awesome the Africa Twin was, or still is... It was during COVID lockdown at least lol It was really your videos which steered me heavily towards the T7, and I've been enjoying the development along the way, how you ride the T7 and all the locations you've been to. It's quite a journey so far. Biggest regret is back in the day I missed most of these videos so now finally get the chance to watch everything lol 😁

[@MVDBR]

Thanks man, look out the videos probably get worse the further back you go 😅 As for the bash plate, we ended up getting an aluminium one from B&B for the 390 which was a lot tougher and better mounted. The AXP kept flexing onto the exhaust and melting 😬

[@macca462]

Great vid guys, totally irrelevant to me as I only work on my bike after it's broken hahaha ;)
